Ernesto Valverde won the Manager of the Month Award a record seven times.

The La Liga Manager of the Month is an association football award that recognises the best adjudged La Liga manager each month of the season. Established in 2013, the award was abandoned after the conclusion of the 2016–17 La Liga season, but was later reinstated after six years following the rebranding of the league ahead of the 2023–24 season.[1]

Winners

Marcelino won the first Manager of the Month award in September 2013.
